Definitions<br />
A periodic packing is obtained by placing a fixed nonoverlapping<br />
configuration of N particles in each fundamental cell.<br />
Thus, the density is<br />
φ = Nv1<br />
Vol(F) .<br />
A particle is centrally symmetric if it has a center C that bisects every chord<br />
through C connecting any two boundary points.<br />
